Your team has been drawn against Como 1907 in the Champions League. Congratulations — you have just landed what might be the best away trip of the entire competition. A lakeside stadium, Alpine views, world-class Italian food, and one of the most unexpected stories in European football. Here is everything you need to plan it properly.
First: Who Are Como 1907?
If Como 1907 is not a name you know well, you are not alone. Seven years ago, this club was playing in Serie D — the fourth division of Italian football — after going bankrupt in 2016. In 2019, the wealthy Hartono family from Indonesia bought the club for €800,000 and began one of football's most extraordinary rebuilds.
Today, Como sell out every match, have Cesc Fàbregas as head coach, count Thierry Henry among their shareholders, and have just qualified for the Champions League for the first time in the club's 119-year history. The story alone makes the trip worthwhile.
Getting to Como
Como is exceptionally well connected for a city of its size. The nearest major airport is Milan Malpensa (MXP), approximately 40 minutes by road or direct bus. Milan Linate (LIN) and Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) are also viable options. From Milan city centre, Como is 30 minutes by train from Milano Centrale or Milano Cadorna — trains run frequently and the journey is direct.
Stadio Sinigaglia: What to Expect
Sinigaglia holds around 13,000 fans and sits directly on the shore of Lake Como. It is compact, atmospheric, and — depending on UEFA requirements for the competition — may host Champions League fixtures directly or use Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia as an alternative venue while renovation work continues. Check comofootball.com for confirmed match locations before booking travel.
Away tickets for Champions League fixtures will be limited and in high demand. Register your interest on the club's official website as early as possible and follow official announcements for sale dates.
Where to Stay
Most visitors to Lake Como base themselves further up the lake in Bellagio or Varenna — which are beautiful but add significant travel time on matchday. For a Champions League trip, staying in Como city itself, close to the stadium, is the smarter choice.
Our apartments in Rebbio are about 5 minutes by car (or 10 by bus) from Sinigaglia, on the quiet southern edge of Como with easy parking and the A9 motorway close by. You reach the match in minutes, head back without the lakefront crowds, and spend the rest of your time enjoying the lake, the mountains, and the food — all from the same calm base. Both properties are self-catering, private, and available for direct booking without platform fees.
Make a Long Weekend of It
Travelling from abroad for a single midweek Champions League match is possible — but it would be a genuine waste. Lake Como is one of the most celebrated destinations in Italy for a reason. Arrive a day or two before the match, explore the lake by ferry, visit Varenna or Cernobbio, eat well, and leave with memories that go beyond ninety minutes of football.
The combination of world-class scenery and a historic Champions League debut makes this one of those rare football trips that becomes a proper holiday. Plan accordingly.
📅 Champions League 2026–27 fixtures will be confirmed by UEFA following the draw in late summer 2026. Home match locations (Sinigaglia or Mapei Stadium) will be announced by Como 1907 officially. Stay updated at comofootball.com
